I was talking to a woman the other day who is in the process of recovering from back surgery. Having had a laminectomy and spinal fusion years ago, I understood all too well the recovery process that she was going through. However, this particular woman wasn’t complaining about her surgery and recovery. She was so thrilled with being pain-free and able to move again, after only a few weeks, that she was ecstatic about the potential future she had with what she called her “new” back. She ended her message by stating that she felt like she was “reborn and given anew life.” My message back to her gave me a very good idea for those of you who are thinking about creating change in your life. As I ended my message to her, I said, “Since you feel like you have been reborn and given a new life, let me be the first to say Happy ReBirthday!” With that said, I have a suggestion for you today.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence and giving a lot of thought to a dream you have, but haven’t yet taken action to make it a reality, why not make today the day you put those thoughts of change into physical action? You have the ability to make today the start of your new life if only YOU decide to make it happen. So, your mission today is to focus on that dream you want to realize or that accomplishment you have yet to achieve and start mindfully and physically working toward that goal. Take those ideas you have and make them agents of change by bringing action into your day. In other words, take the advice I gave to the woman recovering from back surgery and make today your ReBirthday and start living that new life now. If you’re game, your new life is only one decision away!
